Redditch Town Hall.
REDDITCH Borough Council has voted to join the West Midlands Combined Authority as a non-constituent member.
During a meeting last night councillors voted 10-16 in favour of the proposals which will give Redditch a say in the new authority.
This is part of central Government plans to devolve some of its powers to regional groups of councils which have formed combined authorities.
The full story will be published soon.
